-5.a Codec controller: this is the greatest hack in the whole :)
- The libmpeg2 is so unstable, that I can't believe it.
- Of course I don't mean it's bullshit :) rather it only accepts
- totally perfect, error-free streams. If it founds error, it
- just segfaults ;) And don't start laughing, this is great this way,
- from the view of speed it would be 50-100% slower if stuffed full with
- verifications. That's why I solved it by running it in a separate
- process, and if it dies, who cares, just start another.
- However, a few things are needed for this:
- - codec controller process: a separate process, which sleeps, but if
- its child (the libmpeg2 process) dies, it quickly starts another.
- So the MPlayer doesn't have to care about this, it just pumps the
- compressed stuff into the child, which displays it.
- - shmem: the compressed data, and the uncompressed frames are both
- in shared memory, so all 3 processes (mplayer, codeccontrol,
- libmpeg2 codec) sees 'em, so they can trade data fast.
- - FIFO is used for the communication between them.
- - If the child dies while decoding, the succesfully decoded data
- isn't lost, it's inherited by the new child through the
- shared mem! So only a little error can be seen in the video,
- it won't disappear or turn green, as in the older versions.
-
- The disadvantage of this all is that since the libvo and libmpeg2
- are closely related, the libvo needs to run in the same process as
- the libmpeg2, in the one that keeps dying/reborning, and not in the
- one that has the controlling process, the MPlayer. This causes a
- lot of problems, mostly at the handling of events in the libvo window
- (keypresses, etc). So there are miscellaneous workarounds, a lot of
- FIFO, and trick which exploits that X doesn't care which process
- queries its events.
-
- I'd like to solve this in the near future, and use the signal/longjmp
- (this is a hack, too:)) method, developed on the mpeg2dec-devel list.

- processzben futtatom, es ha elszall, hat kit izgat, majd inditok

- - codec controller process: egy kulon processz, ami sleep-el, de
- ha a gyereke (a libmpeg2 processz) meghal, akkor indit gyorsan
- egy masikat. igy az mplayer-nek nem kell ezzel fogallkoznia, o
- csak pumpalja a gyerekbe a tomoritett adatot az meg rakja kifele.
- - shmem: a tomoritett adatok, es a kitomoritett framek is shared
- memoryban vannak, tehat mind a 3 processz (mplayer, codeccontrol,
- libmpeg2 codec) is latja. igy tudnak gyorsan adatot cserelni.
